Diabetes is a long-term condition that affects the wellness of sufferers in numerous ways. It is caused by a problem with the body’s ability to regulate blood sugar level, and is treated in a variety of ways, such as through diet and through a regular program of blood testing and insulin injections.
Now, further research is being carried out into ways that complementary methods such as homeopathy can be used to help people to overcome their condition and have improved wellbeing.
Homeopathy has been found to be effective in a number of cases, and works by matching patients to the prescription that is best suited to help them manage their condition. Bryonia alba, Phosphorus, Syzygium, Arsenicum album and Nat. Sulph are all examples of alternative therapies that have been found to be effective in a number of cases.
Before following any course of homeopathy, a good homeopath should be consulted to help guide you through the process. Homeopaths believe that if the patient is carefully profiled first, the right drug can then be found and the patient will see a drop in blood sugar levels within three months.
Ayurveda is commonly used to help control the other side effects brought on by diabetes, such as problems with the liver or kidneys.
Dr. Kapoor, a leading allopath from a hospital in Delhi recommends the use of Ayurveda, although stresses that it is important to treat each patient individually and not to get too hung up on the particular labels for the types of therapy or the types of treatment that can help to negate the many difficult side effects of the disease.
